Any saddlebacks in Yorkshire
« on: June 16, 2009, 11:03:59 am »
Me and my partner have decided to venture in to pigs, hes had them before as a boy but this is my first time! Im rather excited!
So, i cant seem to find any saddlebacks for sale near-by, and was wondering if anyone knew of any for sale? We dont mind traveling, say 100 mile or so? (from pickering). We are looking for two females for breeding, idealy mature enough for breeding now, or a bit older but not too old so she lasts a good few years. Im rather keen on old spots too? Any info/help would be much appreciated!!! :)
Thanx Danielle  :pig:

If you go to www.saddlebacks.org.uk from the Homepage you can access contact details for a large number of Saddleback breeders in Yorkshire. it may pay also to check out messages on the Interactive Messageboard where ads appear from time to time.

Ditto for GOS on www.oldspots.org.uk

hi Danielle
             we have a herd of saddleback pigs in nottinghamshire.We have 8 gilts with beautiful markings that are 4 moths old.Bertie is our boar and he is the royal show runner up 2007,he,s got real character.We also have people visiting the farm to see the pigs and buy our meat.I'm originally from Huddersfield myself and we are about 1hr 1/2 away as i frequently go up to visit my family.So  if you just want to pay us a visit you are more than welcome.
